Certainly this seems to be the case - but in all fairness, the real thrust of this whole multi-year saga is simply that - that we would like to hear it's EOL if it's EOL. That's not really the kind of thing that needs to be under wraps in my opinion.
No, BM does not owe us any explanations, they don't owe us a roadmap or marketing strategy, and they certainly don't owe us an update.
Yet, it may come off as problematic to someone who were to go buy it at B&H today as a new, high level product offering that unusually has no support. And so the threads keep piling up unfortunately.
As an aside, in my hunt to figure out where I first began to think UMP G2 was mentioned as a camera that would get Gen 5, I came across some of the v7 software threads. There was a back and forth with some BM reps about the 7.2 beta. I personally really like that kind of dialoguing, and would love to see more communication about the software again - I'm not going to get that with Sony or Canon, and it's kind of a nice humanizing touch.
Best,
